The 1979 old movie, Cradle

Answer 1

The 1979 film, Ah, Cradle, was a war and family film. During the War of Liberation (1947), the bandit army of Jiang Jieshi invaded the base area of northern Shaanxi. The army responded to Chairman Mao's decision to temporarily abandon Yan 'an, and the evacuation of dozens of children from the nursery was handed over to the instructor Li Nan, who led the children to the Jiefang District. The parents of these children were mostly frontline commanders, and some of them had sacrificed themselves heroically. The old Red Army Luo Guitian and Zhao Yuxia, the sister-in-law of Northern Shaanxi, had done their best to protect these revolutionary descendants.

Li Nan, who had just taken over the work of the nursery school, was not used to it at first. She felt that it was better to fight on the front line, but she was deeply shocked by the love of Brigadier Xiao and Luo Guitian for the revolutionary descendants. There were many characters in the movie, including seven adults and seven children. Xiang Zhu, played by Ma Xiaoqing, could be considered half an adult and half a child. The oldest among the young actors was six years old, and the youngest was only two years old.

The film showed the cruelty of war. For example, before the subtitles were released, the mother pushed away her five-year-old son Liang Liang on a stretcher to describe the cruelty of war. It also sublimated the cruelty of the revolution and the beauty of motherhood. At the same time, it also reflected warmth, hope and love, such as the fish and water relationship between the military and the people, as well as the special lifestyle and defense ability of the children who grew up in the war. The movie also described the beauty of human nature, caring for women and children, cherishing life, and showing the war era from the special side of the nursery. There was the innocence of children, as well as the change in the mentality of the heroine, Li Nan.

This movie was directed by Xie Jin and starred Zhu Xijuan, Zhang Yongshou, Ma Xiaoqing, Zhang Yu, and Fang Chao. It won the 1979 Outstanding Film Award from the Ministry of Culture and was a patriotic educational movie that was booked by the school. The script creation process went through five years. Originally, he wanted to write it in a thrilling style, but after Xie Jin adjusted it, weakening the war scenes, strengthening the emotional performance, and also changing the name, the final draft was shot.
